My BMI is 14, up from10. Whoo whoo! I wonder how long it would take for the world to reach critical mass or when it has been at its heaviest? Does an increasingly obese population weigh moe or less than when we were a world dominated by super sized dinosaurs?

Zephyr song.

Diphthong.

Thank you so much - sometimes kid words make more of a difference than any medicine can. I'll ask about the flip/flo. Thank you.

With regret, I have to claim ESA and PIP due to multiple health issues including T1 and find the system very frustrating. I'm probably teaching you to suck eggs, but... When filling out your application, or appeal, look at the grading descriptors...

Apologies in advance for moaning, I know I'm a lot better off than a lot of people. I have t1 diabetes, severe anorexia nervous, reflux disease, and have recently been told I have stage 4 kidney disease. Apparently they are thinking I may need dialysis in the near future. Neuropathy has damaged...

Sharing needles is also a fun one! I was accused on a first date of injecting heroin once. I replied it would be preferable to my date's company!

So a very low carb diet that will induce rapid weight loss helps reverse diabetes? Really? We've heard that so many times before. What type of DM did this fellow have? Could it also be that by eating healthily he would also feel better? 1kg a day weight loss would have me checking my ketone...

I found http://www.runsweet.com useful in helping me work with my diabetes when participating in sports. The sugar tax issue reminds me over Tesco's Ribena controversy. Realistically, there are many hypo treatments, and we will all have our preferences. I think I'm very lucky to have life...

You only see the stars when it's dark. Sounds trite, but sometimes, we just need to keep on shining. When I feel like just throwing my insulin away and to hell with the BG meter, very littl helps. So I start plotting to murder diabetes. What could I do to it before it gets me? As has been...

Heaven forbid people with a chronic health condition divert attention from poorly thought out PFIs, gross mismanagement and a lack of common sense. We are an epidemic, and we've brought this on ourselves. I hang my head in shame.

Thank you to all who r plied, it really helped getting it off my chest. Wheth r Scouse, Wirral,wooly back or other, it's always good to know other people have felt the same! I think my issue comes from being T1 and knowing I'm a T1 for life. Being informed of cures or lifestyle changes will not...

Spirallina could cure. Not spiralling. Unless you know differently! And I posted prematurely. The question is, am I right to feel so indignant and frustrated that my condition is used as a whipping post and a benchmark judgement that I have somehow caused my own fate by my own hands? I feel so...

I'm going to see the family and as the only T1, I'm going to face the barrage of 'Can you eat that?' (Adult diagnosis) And 'I don't know how you do it' and 'so and so is now T1 and needs jabs when she was T2'. No. No, they aren't T1 now. They are T2 on Insulin. I have a different condition with...

Itoohave a chequered history of both anorexi and type 1 diabetes. I'd love to see information on how healthcare professionals and carers work or not, to help manage multiple hidden and complex conditions and the domino effect it has on the patient. I also think themes of illness behaviour and...

A housing crisis can be one of the most stressful situations you ever face but, and I can say I'm living proof of this, it's not insurmountable. You just have to be tenacious and think outside the box. Firstly, does your local council have a guaranteed tenancy bond scheme? This is where the act...

DKA, and the food police - yes, diabetics are allowed to eat! Even cake...

I used to refuse to inject in public and hide in the toilets and feel embarrassed. Then I stopped caring and would happily inject when required as discretely as I could. In the thigh under a table cloth, talking to friends/colleagues (amazing how effective this is, simple talking deflects all...

I was diagnosed with T1 18 months ago at age 29. My pump costs the NHS a lot, and I am one of those 'poorly controlled'. I have been told from helpful friends that everything from spirulina, cinnamon through to pregnancy will cure me... Just look at this story in the Mail, and that nice girl at...
